At rho! time two girls realintention was to murder them all. If he had not been arrested on the 10th of January this crime would have been added to the others. The Baroness Mal- fatti had about 10,000 florins’ worth of late and jewels. besides much cash, in the Rouse, a solitary villa. in an outlying suburb. She is a most generous old lady. who founded and keeps up an asylum for old women. Her pearls were pawned in Linz. The maid's deposition confirmed Bohenck’s confession. C3NFESSION OF THE BROTHER. Soheuck acted by minutely prepared plans, and several times he plotted against one girl even before he had disposed of anot or who seemed ready to give up all to him. His brother has confessed to hav- ing helped him to dispose of the body of the cook Ketterl, whom they threw into the Danube. A man answering Sch‘enck’s descri tion was seen from a railway train near undenburg. on the Northern Rail way. wrestling with a woman whom he seemed to stab. This affair was not cleared up, because the police sent from the sta- tion where the train stopped could find no trace of murderer or victim. Schenck con. losses to having murdered awoman near Lundenburg. but refuses to give details. The principal witness against Schenck will he Emily Hcchsmaun, whom he first on- ticed. like his other victims. but finding her poor. yet attractive, spared her life and even spent upon her much of the money obtained by his terrible crimes. She offered herself asa witness when she heard who her lover really was. His acquaintances were all made by means of advertisements in the local papers. Bohenck made the women believe that he was a Nihilist agent. aPolieh Count with untold gold. that he had uncles in America and noble relations who would not hear of a marriage with a servant. Clandestine marriage was always the excuse for leaving Vienna. and once on route. with the girl's money safe in her bag. he got out at some romantic spot. where he snot his accomplices. and after murdering his victim returned by next train. __â€"â€"â€"â€"v v- “av-Av riage. Frau Schenck. the wife of the mur- derer. and to whom he was married four years. is at present engaged as a governess in Bohemia. Schenck is also the son of a Silesian judge, and has two children. WHOLESALE MURDEBS PLANNED. Before being delivered up to justice Bohsnck also confessed to the police that he had planned five murders for the week end- ingwith January 9th last. which were to provide him with 30,000 florins. With this Ium he intended to escape to America with Emily Hochsmann, his sweetheart. Two of his intended victims are daughters of respectable families. One is a servant to the Baroness Malfatti, whose chambermaid he had induced to steal pearls worth 20,000 florins, which the Imperial family had pre- sented to Dr. Malfatti for attending Napoleon’s son, the Duke of Reichstadt. during his last illness. This maid, who had lived in the family for twelve years, was so trusted that the pearls were not missed until Bchsnck’s arrest gave the clue to the rob~ hery. She had prepared everything for Schenok and his accomplioe's reception in the house on the very night he was ar- rested. Sohenck said to her he would giVe all the inmates, herself included, a dose of morphia; hut he has confessed that his At first Schenck denied everything, but seeing that the proofs of his guilt, at least in this case, were overwhelming. he made a clean breast of everything a few weeks ago. The results of his disclosures were appalling. Schenck confessed to have mur- dered during the last three years, in the manner described above. four girls in various cities of the Austrian Empire. He says, as an excuse, that he narcotized his victims, thereby making their death absolutely painless. When he was taken to the police ofice the relatives of the murdered girls were with difficulty restrained from assaulting him. They identified the clothes and jewellery in Schenck's possession as belonging to their missing relatives, and recognized Schenck as the man who had allured themflaway _under promise of mar- .J-‘_ 11L,, 0! young servant girls. inexperienced Ieamstresses, shop girls and such like. and it was among this class of womanhood that this fiend in human shape sought his vic- tims. His mode of operation was as fol- lows: After making the acquaintance of a girl he used first of all to ascertain what the amount of her savrngs was. It the latter was suflicieut he began to make love to her. After having by a romise of marriage won the heart and con deuce of his victim he generally coaxed her into intrustiug him with her money. Then he proposed a day’s tripiuto the country.always contriving to ar~ range matters so asto meet his "betrothed ” at some lonely place where he was pretty lure not to be seen with her. and where he . killed her and concealed the body. This system Schenck practised with such fiendish crattiness that he remained unde- tected for more than five years.

The natural daughter of a Hungarian nobleman, she was full of fanciful ideas, and when, at the age of 30, this handsome man oflered her his hand and heart, she believed fate had turned at last, and leaving service followed him. He took some of her money, 1.800 florins in all. and lodged her in a remote suburb, visiting her sometimes. The landlady states that Bose Fsrenozy sue- peoted him when absent, but whenever he showed himself she always believed him. At Christmas he took her to the theatres and the opera, promising to visit her sister in her company soon. She prepared for departure, and . said. crying. tothe land” lady : " You’ll either see me happy and married, or never again.” The land- lady recognized Schenck and Schles- sarek as the two men With whom Rose drove to the station. Next day her body was found in the Danube, near Pres- bourg. The sums which Schenck obtained by his murders. and which he must have divided with his brother and his accom- plies Sohlossarek, do not amount to 6,000 florins. But he never worked and lived comfortably, often travelling. for three years at least, as also did his accomplices. He must. therefore. have obtained money by other means, or many other murders, to which no clue is as yet obtained, were his work. The Pesth police have asked for his photograph, several girls having been abducted from that city of late years in a similar manner to that practised by Schenclr. Schlossarek, the locksmith, seemsamore determined character than lSchenck, but his wife, who is ignorant of his crimes, was difficult to deal with. In her despair she seemed ready to kill her babe for being a murderer'e child. It is declared that a band of at least sixteen persons all lived in one house in the remote suburb of Rudolphsheim, near Vienna. and planned these murders, and that Schenck was the member entrusted with the work I of enticing the girls away and murdering ‘ them with Schlossarek's aid. 1 the women-had been heard of since their departure in May. It was found that their books had been presented et the savings bank by an official of the Western Railway. named Schenck. who wee known to have celled himself the servant of Hugo Schenck, who was really his brother. The letter was traced to Linz. but had left his lodgings which were searched and in which much propert belonging to the woman was found. 0n t e night of January 10th he was traced to Vienna to the house ofa friend and arrested in bed. He showed excessive terror and had to be helped down stairs. His brother was also arrested. Only in March last he was released from jail after two years' imprisonment. for swnndling a servant of her savings. A COLD'BLOODED CRIME. One of hie victims was Theresa Ketterl. 37 years of age. Irom Munich. who was em- ployed as cook in the household of an ofllcial of the Ministry of Finance. He be- came acquainted with her in July lest. In the latter days of August he invited her to an excursion to St. Poellen. a suburb of - Vienna. There they rambled the whole day through the solitary woods. She became very tender to Schenok and kissed him re- peatedly. At last she said to him. “ 0h. , for the love of God. dear Hugo. be true to me 1 If you will ever desert me I shall commit suicide." Sohenck laughed. “ You shall not. You do not even know how." “ I will shoot myself “You do not know how to handle a revolver. Look ; that is how it mustbe done.” Schenck pulled a pistol out of his pocket. pointed the muzzle at his head and pulled the trigger. The girl cried in terror. “ Don't fear. little goose," . Schenck said laughingly. " its not loaded. . Now you try. Hark." he cried. interrupt. . ing himself: " is there not somebody ' coming? " He rose to his feet and went behind abush close by. seemingly watching. There he loaded his pistol, and bringing it back to the girl said. in a light. jesting tone. “ There was nobody there after all. Now. my dear girl, try your suicide l " He gave her the pistol. She took it laughing and raised the cock. " Now, attention 1 ” cried Schsnck. “ One. two. three. Fire! " Theresa pulled the trigger. a shot resounded through the stillness ot the forest and the girl dropped dead. a streak of blood running down her temple. It was at this time that he had left Emily Hochsmann for one day. promising to meet her at night in a certain public garden. She waited for him with her relations. and when he came his merri- ment kept them all in good humor. He excused his insatiable hunger by the hard work which had kept him busy all day. and then, surrounded by dozens of people. gave Emily Hochemann a watch. bracelets and rings which he had taken from the murdered Ketterl three hours previously. Next day he started on a Swiss tour with his sweetheart. and only left her when money fell short.

Mich., March l9.â€"At the Sand- wich murder inquest Dr. Ccsgrain and his son, who held a postmortem examination on Jailer Leech, testified as to the wounds infiicted.‘ The fatal one must have caused instantaneous death. Kennedy declined to make a statement. The jury were out some time, and returned the following ver- dict: " We find that the jailer, George O'Calligan Leech, came to his death by balls fired into hie body from a revolver in ‘ the hands of William O‘Callaghan while endeavoringtoercape from jail on Sunday morning, March 16th, and that said O'Cal- laghan did teloniouely kill and murder the said George O'Oalligan Leech." Mr. McDonnell objected to the verdict as in- complete in ignoring Kennedy. The jury thereupon added : " We. the jury. also find that Matthew Kennedy was an accomplice to the killing and mur- dering of George 0’0. Leech. Three jurors did not agree to the latter clause. which leaves Kennedy as yet unindicted. Further consideration of the verdict was therefore adjourned until the Spring Assizes, April 22nd. when all the jurors will have to ap- pear and upon announcing their findings turn the matter over to the Grand Jury. Kennedy. when he heard the report on ' Monday that O'Oallaghan was caught back of Walkervnlle. laughed and said he was not in the country to be caught. There is very little doubt but that the jail delivery today was all planned in ad- vance, as a round hole was out in one of the window panes in a' window of the out- side wall directly in front of O‘Callaghan's cell some time last night. and a revolver placed therein, which he took and secreted as soon as he was let out of the cell into the corridor this morning, It is sup- posed that some person must have climbed over the wall surrounding the jail yard during the night and out the hole with a diamond, placed the revolver there, and, climbed out again. About dusk this evening a report was circulated that O'Callaghan was in a place called Pelton’s Bush, four miles east of Windsor, on the Canada Southern Railway, and that the place is surrounded to prevent his escape, and that he said he would not be taken alive. Chief Baiues proceeded at once to ascertain it the report was true, and if so he would go out there with a posse of lvolunteers and Detroit officers to capture 1m. and was shot by Jailer Leech; then he turned and fired two shots at the jailer. killing him instantly. He then got the keys and passed them into the other cor- ridor to Kennedy. who unlocked the door and came out into the corridor and knocked the turnkey down, and pounded him with abottle which was sitting on the stove. The two then walked into the passageway leading to the street. one carrying the revolver, the other the bottle. The matron gave the elerm and parties saw them going away, but could not capture them. The deputy turnkey followed them up to Wind-‘ sor, where he went to the police station to get help. A LATER DIIIUOH. Kennedy, of the Harrow burglars who took part in the jail delivery at Sandwich this morning. was captured on board the Welkerville terry boat just about to cross to Detroit. He had procured a suit. sup- posed to be an old suit belonging to a rail- road man or some of the men emfiloyed in the cattle sheds at Messrs. Wal er Sons. O'Oallaghan. the man who shot Jailer Leech. is still at large, supposed to be in or around the outskirts of Windsor or Walkerville. The country is being secured by the whole Windsor Police Force and citizens of Sandwich, Windsor and Walker- ville. assisted by a large number of farmers. It is claimed by Kennedy that Jailer Leech shot O'Oallaghan and that O‘Cellag- ban was shot by Jailer Leech. and When Kennedy and O'Oallaghan parted between Windsor and Walkerville that O‘Gallaghan was so weak from loss of blood that he could go no further, and that he crawled over aboard fence into a yard and was pro- bably dead, but although a thorough search has been made. no trace has been found of him up to 5 pm. The manner of the delivery was as follows. as near as can be ascertained: The jailer and turnkeywere standing at the corridor door while one of the prisoners was sweeping out the cells, and O'Callaghan rushed at the door and pushed it open so suddenly and with such force as to knock the jailer and turnkey down, and then came out into the corridor row goetwflice. a short time'sgo. shot and kills Jsiler Leech. and probsbly lstslly wounded Turnkey Dens.snd mode their 1escape.

Mm The 1,300 employees of a large shipyard and machine factory at Bremen were vac- cinated last summer by order of the police authorities, in consequence of an outbreak of small pox among some of the workmen. Since then nearly 200 of the persons thusr incculated have fallen sick with jaundice inasevere form, and the conclusion is drawn that the disease was imparted through the virus used in vaccination. The circumstances of the case have at- tracted medical attention to an unusual degree. It has been found that none of the persons taken into the employ of the shipyard after last summer’s vaccination have fallen sick, while some of those who left the shipyard after being vaccinated and sought employment elsewhere have been attacked by the disease in the same manner asthe workmen who remained. It is evident. therefore. that the disease can- notbeascribed to anything in the local surroundings.
